WARNING: This is a post containing an honest opinion! While meant to be informative and helpful, it is only the opinion of the poster and in no way should be taken as fact or expertise!
I will first do the 15 (minus the top 5) in the order they were called:
Lauren Lecompte
  
Lauren is a very pretty girl and had a good onstage interveiw. Found her gown and ss presentation very safe. She looked exactly like she looked last year and I thought she went with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentallity. However, it was a very strong year, and I just don't think she had enough stage presence to make the next cut. Young though, and can come back next year with more energy and be a real contender!

Beautiful, tall, very fit girl! Great in ss, onstage interview was just ok to me, and gown was a bit mature on top, but she did have great stage presence and I think she will do very well when she moves on up to the miss division!
Alyx Reynolds
  
Very pretty, very well spoken girl despite her young age. Was one of the youngest to make this cut. Wore a different gown for prelims than for finals. Did not care for either gown. The first one washed her out and the second looked like co-ed. Great swimsuit figure. Something missing here, though. Maybe needs more "umph!!" Again, a very safe performance. But walked away with a deserving photogenic award!
Lauren Dickenson
 
This girl came from out of nowhere! Even though she was a prelim winner, she was hardly mentioned pre-pageant, and her gown was a little prom-ish, BUT she had an extremely pretty, fresh-looking, teen face! Don't know her age or if she can come back, but with the right help, could definately shine!
Tiffany Terrell
  
This girl is just very pretty and very well spoken. Probably was very close to the top 5! Thought she looked a bit mature, especially in her gown (although I thought the gown was pretty, she can use it when she moves up to Miss) She had worked hard on her figure and was fit, but still needed something.
Shantavia Davis
  
I thought this girl had a sweetness to her and a very pretty face. I liked her hair better when she wore it down and I think she just needs more experience and confidence on stage. Another young one though, and I expect to see her back stronger next year!
Noelle Stevens
  
Very, very well spoken girl. I think her interview skills are what put her into top 15. Cute opening number outfit, but was my least favorite gown. And needs to work on her walk. Something just a little off there.
Stephanie Camp
  
Can you say cute????!!! This girl is a doll and really bubbled on stage, however, there was a little uneasiness in interview and although I LOVED her gown, it kept wrapping around her feet, which was very distracting. Gotta give her credit though, she never once tripped or got frustrated with it, she just kept going. I look for her to come back very strong next year!
Sara Long
  
This girl was just gorgeous. Face and body got her into top 15 for sure!! Needs some work on onstage interview. But definately one of the prettiest in the competition!
Brenda Orcutt
  
Another very pretty girl and another one I think was right up there close to the top 5. Gown was one of my favorites, interview was good despite a bad question, but needs work in ss. I also expect to see her back stronger next year!
TOP 5
4th Runner Up - Kimberly Wright
  
Very good onstage interview! Didn't care for the gown, thought it overpowered her, and she made a few mistakes in prelims that may have cost her a little. Good ss figure and very pretty smile!
2rd Runner Up - Tatianna Schoeppler
 
Very beautiful exotic looking girl! In my opinion, needed work in ss and the gown was a bit mature, but gave a great interview and had great energy on stage! Can't wait to see her in the Miss divsion next year!
2nd Runner Up - Heather Mowry
  
Could not find a finals picture of Heather in gown on the Florida Teen site, so I pulled one off her site, because this girl was one of my favorites in ss! In fact she was one of my favorites, period. If it wasn't for a weak onstage interview, I think she could have won. Great personality on stage and since she is the only one who can return out of the top 5, I look for her to be a major contender next year.
1st Runner Up - Aimee Seheult
  
Very pretty face and was very well spoken. Thought she needed work in ss but her presentation was very good. Wish her luck with her Co-ed title and with Miss division next year!
Winner- Victoria Ratliff
  
Very very pretty winner! Loved her gown, gave a good answer in interview and looked thin and fit! A great example of a girl who won because she made no mistakes!
So there you have it, like it or not, those are my opinions and I hope the girls find them useful instead of offensive, because that is how they are meant!
